Hip-Hop Artists Lesson and Activity Excerpted from the Tanenbaum Curriculum COEXIST Hip-Hop Artists Lesson Overview: Students will learn about stereotypes as well as how to identify and challenge their own biases. Students will also make connections to religion as an important aspect of identity and an influence within the realm of Hip-Hop. Grades: Principles for Inclusive Education Explored: 6-8, 9-12 Teaching and Learning about Cultures and Religions, Preventing Prejudice, Promoting Social Justice, Exploring Multiple Identities Skills: Religion, Literacy, Social Materials: Hip-Hop Lyrics info kit Studies (included), White or Black Board and Markers MATERIALS PREPARATION: Prepare handouts of Hip-Hop Artist for students in the class. This lesson is best done in conjunction with Tanenbaum Center’s Hip-Hop Lyrics Lesson, specifically as the first lesson. PROCEDURE: Step One: Tell the students that they will begin a lesson which will be brining Hip- Hop into the classroom. You may want to give some background on Hip-Hop as an important social and musical movement which has been embraced by those who feel marginalized. Step Two: Write Hip-Hop on the center of the white or black board. Begin a discussion with the students by asking what they think about Hip-Hop. Focus on one word answers and facilitate responses by asking what images come to mind, what Hip-Hop artists the students are familiar with, and what topics Hip-Hop discusses. Create a word web with the students’ responses. Step Three: Handout the Hip-Hop Artists handout with just the pictures of the artists. Ask the students to read the directions, and then read the directions aloud to the students. © 2009 TANENBAUM / Center for Interreligious Understanding www.tanenbaum.org Step Four: After all the students have completed the identification of both the artists’ names and religion, have them move into small groups to discuss the following questions: • Which artists were easy for you to identify? • Which artists were hard for you to identify? • How did you determine which religion each artist is affiliated with? Step Five: Handout the Hip-Hop Artists’ Religion handout. Ask the students, in their groups, to read over the hand out and then discuss the following questions: • Which artists did you correctly identify? Why were you able to correctly identify them? • Which artists were you surprised by? Why are you surprised? • Does knowing any of the artists’ religions help make sense of what you already know of them? • Can you think of a way in which the artists’ religions influence their songs or lyrics? Step Six: Bring the class back together as a large group and repeat the discussion, focusing specifically on which artists the students were surprised by and why they were surprised. Step Seven: Follow up activities can include the following: • Students can choose an identity salient to them (African-American, Hindu, Nigerian) and find pictures which challenge the stereotypes often held about their group. This could be turned into a classroom gallery. © 2009 TANENBAUM / Center for Interreligious Understanding www.tanenbaum.org Hip-Hop Artists Which religion do your favorite Hip-Hop artists profess? Which artists are Christian? Hindu? Muslim? Jewish? A Jehovah’s Witness? Buddhist? Humanist? Can you tell by looking at them? Do their lyrics give you a hint? Mark down the first letter of the religion you think each Hip-Hop artist is (example: C = Christian, H = Hindu) and put a star next to every artist you recognize. 1 ___ 2 ___ 3 ___ 4 ___ 5 ___ 6 ___ 7 ___ 8 ___ 9 ___ 10 ___ 11 ___ 12 __ © 2009 TANENBAUM / Center for Interreligious Understanding www.tanenbaum.org Hip-Hop: Artists’ Religions 1. Beastie Boys – Jewish/ Buddhist The members of the Beastie Boys Michael Diamond (Mike D), Adam Yauch (MCA), Adam Horovitz (King Ad-Rock) and Michael Schwartz (Mix Master Mike) were all born and raised Jewish. Adam Yauch converted to Buddhism in the mid-1990s. All the members are from New York, and their heritage is mentioned in many of their songs. They are the highest selling Hip-Hop group and the fourth highest selling Hip- Hop artists (behind Tupac Shakur, Eminem, and Jay-Z). 2. Common – Christian Common (born Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr.) is from Chicago and a member of the United Church of Christ, along with fellow members Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama. He is known for lyrics that reflect his spirituality and commitment to social justice. He was at one point notorious for a feud with Ice Cube before Louis Farrakhan was brought in to mediate their dispute. 3. Eve - Muslim Eve Jihan Jeffers considers herself a non-practicing Muslim. She is one of the first women of Hip-Hop and has been nominated for numerous awards through the American Music Awards, BET, and other organizations. She has crossed over into other arenas including her own clothing line as well as acting in XXX, the Barbershop series and The Woodsman. 4. Mos Def - Muslim Mos Def (born Dante Terrell Smith in New York) was first exposed to Islam at age 13 by his father. He became a Muslim at age 19 after getting to know Muslim rappers including Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Q-Tip of the group A Tribe Called Quest. Mos Def has helped to popularize socially conscience Hip-Hop and challenge the promotion of violence in gangster rap. He is also known as an actor and was part of critically acclaimed films such as Bamboozled and Monster’s Ball, and has appeared on Chappelle’s Show and HBO’s Def Poetry. 5. Kanye West – Christian Kanye West became a born again Christian after surviving a terrible car crash in 2002. He makes his faith known in many of his songs, including “Through the Wire” and “Jesus Walks.” He has used his place within the Hip-Hop community to challenge images and lyrics promoting violence and homophobia. He was very active in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the racial strife that was illuminated by the disaster. 6. Talib Kweli –Humanist In the past Talib Kweli has identified as Christian and as a 5 Percenter, a branch of Islam. Currently he says he respects religion in general and he tries to put that into his work, but he is not associated with any particular religion. His first name in Arabic means "student" and his last name translates in Swahili to "true". He brings that truth to many of his songs, condemning what he sees as injustice and promoting constructive means of alleviating social strife. © 2009 TANENBAUM / Center for Interreligious Understanding www.tanenbaum.org 7. Russell Simmons - Buddhist Simmons is the cofounder of the pioneering Hip-Hop label Def Jam, the founder of the music label Russell Simmons Music Group, and the creator of the Phat Farm clothing line. He is considered the main proponent behind the success of the Hip- Hop movement, having brought Hip-Hop culture into the mainstream. He is also a generous philanthropist who has supported causes ranging from the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network to Hurricane Katrina victims. 8. KRS-One - Christian As a teenager, Lawrence Parker frequently accompanied the Hare Krishna, earning him the nickname Krisna. KRS-One was originally Parker’s graffiti tag, and after he became popular he created a backronym (phrase that is constructed "after the fact" from a previously existing abbreviation) in accordance with his appreciation of education and being referred to as The Teacha, “Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone.” He has been active in anti-violence campaigns and was the initiator of the H.E.A.L. compilation Stop the Violence Movement. As of 2002 he has released a gospel-rap album. 9. Matisyahu – Jewish Matisyahu ia the Hebrew name of Matthew Paul Miller. He is a member of the Chabad-Lubavitch branch of Hasidic Judaism. As an Orthodox Jew he wears traditional clothing such as a kippah (head covering), has a beard, and does not perform on Shabbat (Friday night through Saturday night). He is known for combining Reggae music and spiritual Jewish lyrics. His album Youth was Billboard magazine's number-one "Digital Album" in 2006. 10. Salt –Christian Cheryl James is famous as Salt of the female rap group 'Salt-N-Pepa.' Since the group’s breakup in 2001, Cheryl James has gone on to do solo albums and feature in reality television shows. 11. Prince – Christian Prince Rogers Nelson was raised as a Seventh-Day Adventist and converted to become a Jehovah’s Witness in 2001. He is also a vegetarian, which may be connected to his religious beliefs. His music has spanned myriad styles; from his early material, rooted in R&B, funk, and soul, he has constantly expanded his musical style throughout his career, absorbing many other genres including New Wave, pop, rock, blues, jazz, and Hip-Hop. 12. M.I.A. - Hindu (Batticaloa) As an ethnic Sri Lankan Tamil, Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasm practices a form of Hinduism specific to that region. Maya spent her life traveling between England, Sri Lanka and India due to her father’s affiliation with the militant Tamil group, LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam). Her chosen Hip-Hop moniker reflects her activist roots, M.I.A. can stand for either “Missing in Acton,” referring to an area of London, or “Missing in Action,” the military term for someone who is missing in combat. Her musical style contains elements of grime, Hip-Hop, dancehall, electro, and baile funk. She does a great deal of graffiti artwork as well as socially conscious songs. © 2009 TANENBAUM / Center for Interreligious Understanding www.tanenbaum.org .

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Napier An autoethnography of Scottish hip-hop: identity, locality, outsiderdom and social commentary Dave Hook A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University, for the award of Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 Declaration This critical appraisal is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It has not been previously submitted, in part or whole, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed:_________________________________________________________ Date:______5th June 2018 ________________________________________ Dave Hook BA PGCert FHEA Edinburgh i Abstract The published works that form the basis of this PhD are a selection of hip-hop songs written over a period of six years between 2010 and 2015. The lyrics for these pieces are all written by the author and performed with hip-hop group Stanley Odd. The songs have been recorded and commercially released by a number of independent record labels (Circular Records, Handsome Tramp Records and A Modern Way Recordings) with worldwide digital distribution licensed to Fine Tunes, and physical sales through Proper Music Distribution. Considering the poetics of Scottish hip-hop, the accompanying critical reflection is an autoethnographic study, focused on rap lyricism, identity and performance. The significance of the writing lies in how the pieces collectively explore notions of identity, ‘outsiderdom’, politics and society in a Scottish context. Further to this, the pieces are noteworthy in their interpretation of US hip-hop frameworks and structures, adapted and reworked through Scottish culture, dialect and perspective.

  • 3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (Guest Post)*
    “3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (guest post)* De La Soul For hip-hop, the late 1980’s was a tinderbox of possibility. The music had already raised its voice over tensions stemming from the “crack epidemic,” from Reagan-era politics, and an inner city community hit hard by failing policies of policing and an underfunded education system--a general energy rife with tension and desperation. From coast to coast, groundbreaking albums from Public Enemy’s “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” to N.W.A.’s “Straight Outta Compton” were expressing an unprecedented line of fire into American musical and political norms. The line was drawn and now the stage was set for an unparalleled time of creativity, righteousness and possibility in hip-hop. Enter De La Soul. De La Soul didn’t just open the door to the possibility of being different. They kicked it in. If the preceding generation took hip-hop from the park jams and revolutionary commentary to lay the foundation of a burgeoning hip-hop music industry, De La Soul was going to take that foundation and flip it. The kids on the outside who were a little different, dressed different and had a sense of humor and experimentation for days. In 1987, a trio from Long Island, NY--Kelvin “Posdnous” Mercer, Dave “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur, and Vincent “Maseo, P.A. Pasemaster Mase and Plug Three” Mason—were classmates at Amityville Memorial High in the “black belt” enclave of Long Island were dusting off their parents’ record collections and digging into the possibilities of rhyming over breaks like the Honey Drippers’ “Impeach the President” all the while immersing themselves in the imperfections and dust-laden loops and interludes of early funk and soul albums.

  • Concerto for Turntables and Orchestra Gabriel Prokofiev Teacher Pages
    SECONDARY 10 PIECES PLUS! CONCERTO FOR TURNTABLES AND ORCHESTRA (5th MOVEMENT) by GABRIEL PROKOFIEV TEACHER PAGES CONCERTO FOR TURNTABLES AND ORCHESTRA (5TH MOVEMENT) BY GABRIEL PROKOFIEV http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p038md89 CONTEXT Gabriel Prokofiev is the grandson of Sergei Prokofiev, the famous Russian composer and contemporary of Shostakovich. Gabriel is a musician who has been involved in hip hop, dance, electro, grime, scratching and turntablism. He has become interested in the fusion of different styles of music and decided to write a Concerto for Turntables and Orchestra where sounds created by the orchestra could be combined with turntable techniques. Turntablism comes from the 1970’s Hip Hop style. The records on the turntables are scratched rhythmically, responding to the music being played: this technique is used in the Prokofiev concerto. The DJ manipulates the sounds on the vinyl records changing tonal and rhythmic patterns. The records used in the piece contain music samples of orchestral phrases. A concerto is an orchestral piece of music which features a soloist, or small group of soloists who are virtuoso performers. The soloist usually has the main ideas and maintains a dialogue with the orchestra throughout the music. As with any instrumentalist, the DJ requires plenty of practice to become skilful in the technique of manipulating sounds. The concerto usually contains a ‘cadenza’, which is a passage where the soloist can show off his or her skills. Concerto for Turntables and Orchestra was written in 2006 and was

    THE JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, 43(3), 192–203, 2012 Copyright C Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 0095-8964 print/1940–1892 online DOI: 10.1080/00958964.2011.633579 ESSAY/ANALYSIS Hip-Hop, Social Justice, and Environmental Education: Toward a Critical Ecological Literacy Michael J. Cermak Boston College, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, USA This essay describes an educational initiative that used environmentally themed (green) hip-hop to stimulate learning in an environmental science classroom. Students were then challenged to compose their own green hip-hop and their lyrics demonstrated skills that have thematic consistency around what is called a Critical Ecological Literacy (CEL). An analysis of more than 200 creative pieces collected from eight runs of this curriculum over four years shows that CEL can be used as a guiding concept for the creation of curriculum targeting urban areas and racially diverse learners. Several examples of this student-produced green hip-hop are shared to delineate elements of CEL that can help educators evaluate student learning as well as their own teaching materials. Keywords critical literacy, environmental education, hip-hop, nature, rap New World Water make the tide rise high, Come inland and make your house go “Bye” Fools done upset the Old Man River, Made him carry slave ships and fed him dead nigga Downloaded by [205.204.248.88] at 13:13 05 November 2014 —Mos Def, New World Water, 1999 When I first heard Mos Def’s rap, it expanded my notion of how water moves through our environment.

  • Yasiin Bey Would Like You to Quit Calling Him Mos
    9/24/2020 Yasiin Bey Would Like You To Quit Calling Him Mos Def — The Awl ยท Yasiin Bey Would Like You To Quit Calling Him Mos Def by Scott Korb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmoIJQWPg9w At a performance last August, the deliberate and sharply dressed emcee, who is also well known as an actor, announced his “official transition” to a huge audience gathered in the parking lot of a popular pub and pizzeria in Anchorage, Alaska: “My professional name will be my chosen and my legal name, which is Yasiin Bey. … And I don’t want to have to wait for it to be in Source or Vibe or someplace. I figure, we’re all here. We can see each other.” And then he spelled it out for them: “Y-A-S-I-I-N, first name. Last name: B-E-Y.” When a few Alaskans made some disapproving noises, Bey responded, “I understand. I understand.” Cradling his signature bright red, vintage-style microphone, he then tried to make it clear he knew exactly what, and exactly whom, he was giving up. “No one has a more close relationship to Mos Def than me. I know that guy. Really good.” To be fair, Bey’s mother, Sheron Smith, who manages a good portion of his career and whom even I, a reporter with no relationship to the family, call Umi, still mostly refers to her son by the name she gave him: Dante. So does the emcee Talib Kweli. “I refer to Mos Def as Dante, or ‘D,’’’ he recently told me.
